When I have clients with lots of rentals like that, I usually have an extra Sch E worksheet that I call General Expenses that I put all the shared expenses on, equipment, travel, home office, etc.
You could do it as a % on each, convert 1/9 into a % then use that on each asset entry sheet as the business use on each property.

Does the taxpayer ever have unallowed passive losses? If so, it should be split up between the properties, so the proper unallowed passive loss is assigned to the correct property.
With that being said, if the asset cost isn't too large, it might be easier to just put it on one of the properties.

Thank you. The equipment was $25,000 and I thought about breaking it up amongst the 9 properties. Could it just be written off then if each property gets $2777.78 or does that still get depreciated?

Generally, as asset with that large of a cost would be depreciated (but Bonus depreciation likely would apply, unless you elect out).
